Further to your question to John about Douglas Bader and Kenneth More, I had the pleasure of meeting both when I was in the Royal Navy. Kenneth More made a naval comedy film at Dartmouth College where I was a sproggy cadet and Douglas Bader was guest of honour at a Culdrose mess dinner some 5 years later.
The resemblance between the 2 was quite amasing, similar height, build and square jaw. More had Bader's walk absolutely spot on including the way he stood with his legs well apart. I was surprised at the difficulty Bader still had in going up or down steps in the mess, possibly the thick pile carpet was a problem. The pair were very friendly and relaxed to talk to.
Some trivia!! More was a Captain during the war and the then Dartmouth Captain was a junior officer under him on the same ship!
Sorry I digress!
